In the end, this beer is very quaffable and will be a great springtime or summer beer. The tangerine is more noticeable in the flavor for me than the aroma. The body is solidly in the medium range, the carbonation is good for this beer style and the mouthfeel is nice with just a little bit of a creamy edge. This is an easy-drinker with a zesty citrus edge. Score: 86 with 1,931 ratings and reviews. Still, the finish is nice with a juicy hop character that lingers on for a few minutes. Citradelic Tangerine IPA is a American IPA style beer brewed by New Belgium Brewing Company in Fort Collins, CO.
So for me, it’s a closer to a pale ale in intensity than an American IPA. Style: American IPA (14B) Boil Size: 5.54 gal: Style Guide: BJCP 2008: Color: 8.7 SRM: Equipment: My Equipment: Bitterness: 39.1 IBUs: Boil Time: 90 min: Est OG: 1. The bitterness for this beer falls in the lower end of the moderate range in my opinion. I think the hop choices used in conjunction with the tangerine and grain bill work well for the flavor, but for an IPA, it’s lacking that bold bitterness that you expect. There are solid orange-like citrus flavors and it’s not very piney or harsh. The bitterness is on the lower end of the scale for an IPA, but the hop flavor is quite nice and it complements the tangerine nicely. This is an easy-drinker with a zesty citrus edge. The off-white head is well-formed, but not very long-lasting. The color is light gold with excellent clarity. The malt aroma is slightly sweet with a just a touch of caramel aroma. It's the perfect easy drinking, summery IPA to have straight out of the can after a bike ride or hike, but it's not extraordinary. It's far from my favorite, but I am actually quite excited to take it camping this summer. The very approachable and non-threatening aroma features moderate orange-y citrus hop character, and some low notes of fresh, zesty tangerine are noticeable. Green Flash (which has an IPA-dominant portfolio already) chose to modify an existing beer, their well-liked Soul Style IPA, with the addition of tangerine. Citradelic is a misleading name, and a more strict Tangerine Peel and Citra mixture would be best.
